Scripture 1 Peter 5:6-9

As we look around us, our world seems to be in total chaos. Sin has never been more obvious than it is today. Sometimes when you hear people talking, they simply feel that it's just the way life is. We live in a society where the motto of life seems to be, “Anything Goes!" But in God's eyes, sin is still sin.

Verse 8 says that Satan is like a roaring lion walking about, seeking whom he may devour. Whether the world wants to believe it or not, there is a devil! To the child of God, he is their greatest enemy. He is continually interfering with God's children, trying to get them to indulge in the things of the world. He hopes to get them to turn their back on God because he knows that his time on earth is getting short.

Satan knows that the children of God will someday live in Heaven. A long time ago he lived there, but he was cast out to this earth. He doesn't want anyone to go to heaven, so he is doing everything in his power to stop them and drag them down to hell with him.

However, we can be victorious over him by doing what verse 6 says. We must humble ourselves under God's mighty hand and in due time, He will exalt us. PRAISE GOD!

GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN ME THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD!


Be careful of the devils' tricks
He'll try to bring you down
To the lowest depth of hell
Where he'll someday be found
